The journey
What these days are for
Kenya holds more than 1,100 species. This week is for people who will miss breakfast for a lark. A specialist guide, wetland dawns, and no apology for stopping the car.
Prices are per person sharing, in low-to-shoulder lodge categories, before international flights. Park fees move; we reconfirm them on the invoice, not in a footnote after you have paid.
